Coupling Natural & Human Systems
12th Annual American
Ecological Engineering Society Meeting
Hosted by State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry
Abstract deadline extended until February 15th!
June 7-9, 2012
ESF Campus
Syracuse, NY
We are excited to host the 12th annual American Ecological Engineering Society Conference in Syracuse, New York. Our goal is to provide a forum for sharing ideas, information, and experiences among engineers, landscape architects, environmental scientists, natural resource managers, planners, and other professionals and students working to improve ecosystem health and global sustainability.
The conference focuses this year on a long-standing critical and central area of ecological engineering: Coupling Natural and Human Systems. We expect to have more than 200 presentations and posters focusing on ecological engineering applications in environmental restoration, wastewater and stormwater treatment, renewable energy, climate change adaptation, and sustainable food systems. The program will include invited speakers, roundtable discussions on emerging issues, posters and exhibits, field trips, and many networking opportunities. Student participation is a key element of the conference, with emphasis on design experiences and mentoring for our future ecological engineers.
Who Should Attend
The American Ecological Engineering Society (AEES) works to promote the protection and development of sustainable ecosystems that integrate human society with the natural environment for the benefit of both. Conference participants will include: environmental and ecological scientists, engineers; landscape architects; policy makers and planners; federal, tribal, state, and local government agency personnel; and private interests, environmental consultants, environmental interest groups, and students.
For information about ecological engineering from a student's perspective read this article from the Daily Orange-"...ecological engineering feels like taking the plastic slip covers off your grandmother's furniture and building a fort in the living room. It's something magic, a little irreverent and a marked improvement on the couches and chairs that were there before."
Conference Mission
The American Ecological Engineering Society (AEES) shall promote the development of sustainable ecosystems that integrate human society with its natural environment for the benefit of both by fostering education and outreach, extending professional development and associations, raising public awareness, and encouraging original research.
